Metal, mercury fillings are officially a thing of the past. We encourage you to replace these unattractive fillings with stronger, safer, and essentially invisible porcelain fillings.
Porcelain fillings closely mimic the characteristics of a natural tooth, do not contain metal, and allow light to flow through and reflect for a beautiful and natural-looking smile. Porcelain also adheres to the tooth structure and will strengthen the tooth, whereas metal fillings can crack or break the tooth as the temperature of the metal changes.
How Are Porcelain Fillings Applied?
Applying porcelain fillings is also easier than applying traditional metal fillings, since less of the natural tooth is removed. When possible, we prefer to fill a damaged tooth instead of placing a crown.
Should I Replace My Metal Fillings?
We recommend replacing old, metal fillings as part of a general dentistry practice to maintain your best oral hygiene and health. Porcelain fillings are considered to be a part of the cosmetic dentistry family. Please contact our office to see if porcelain fillings are the best option for your smile.

What Our Patients Have To Say
“Erica was not happy with the gaps in her teeth, and she would often keep from laughing and smiling to hide them. Using a diode laser, we were able to adjust Erica’s gum line and really open eher smile for a beautiful result. She says that her new smile has “changed my life dramatically.”
“Jamie says her eyes “filled with tears” when she first saw her new smile with veneers. At 31 years old, she admits to having trouble smiling with her mouth open, and would often hold back from laughing in order to hide her crooked and yellowed teeth. “I wish I had done it sooner,” she comments".
“Brian is a young, aspiring actor and felt that gaps and spaces in his natural teeth were holding him back. With his new movie-star smile and porcelain veneers, Brian’s confidence is “through the roof” and he hopes to light up the silver screen".
“Dr. Stevens is a “big believer in Dr. Frey” after knowing him for years and having him perfect his smile. He trusts in him so much that he sent his mother, brother, and his own plastic surgery patients to see him! Dr. Stevens says Dr. Frey is the “icing on the cake” for his patients."
“Rick wanted to fix the gap in his front teeth, but he did not want to wait 1 to 2 years for traditional metal braces to work. Instead he chose veneers, which were applied in less than 2 visits. When he returned to Oregon to visit his family, he said they immediately noticed his new smile."
